Re: no power?
Oh I love these, give the bearest of information and a covering statement of "everything was ok and it just happened"
so it happened before, have you done the basics ? checked the 3 cutouts ?, checked the fuses, checked the know rub points on the loom ? might help if you followed the guidelines for asking tech questions and added a complete history/mods/actions taken. Cheers Mark.

Re: no power?
It'll be one of the following (or should be)
- loose connector - kill switch is 'on' - side stand cutout is in the 'on' posistion (therefore the bike is in gear) make sure you are in neutral - battery is on the way out, which sounds v likely from the info given

Re: no power?
the in gear test is to attempt to move it back and neutral free wheels
you've just partially answered your own question dead dash is 1 symptom. another is difficulty starting and cutting out when the alternator isn't under engine power Halfrauds will test your battery for free and tell you if its goosed
